in ieder geval zijn we hier beter af dan in UK
(ik kreeg zojuist een mailtje van de actiegroep, vandaar, ze hebben een Facebook groep waar ze op attendeerden). bij Northern Rock was er een compensatie 0. Gebaseerd op onware aannames. Wellicht dat Dijss daar zijn inspiratie haalde voor de geplande roof.
Rigging the Independent Valuation
How did the Government rig the compensation terms? They set the terms of reference for the independent valuation by specifying that the following assumptions (amongst others) should apply:
a) that the company is unable to continue as a going concern; and
b) that the company is in administration.
These “assumptions” clearly did not apply when the nationalisation took place. The company was not in administration, and was trading normally and as a going concern (as Ministers have repeatedly said in Parliament and elsewhere). Such terms of reference for the valuation of any company are likely to result in a negligible valuation as was the case when the Northern Rock valuer returned a £NIL valuation.
The Government Benefiting from its Own Actions
It is a general principle followed in commercial disputes that anyone who damages the value of a business should not benefit as a result in any subsequent valuation of that business. But here the Government and its agencies caused many of the problems that Northern Rock faced YET the current figures show that it will make in the region of £9bn from Northern Rock assets that they acquired for ZERO.
